Okay, so here I got HL due to the wonderful promotion, but as I was making some characters to test it, I found that the Bastard Sword (Which is a Martial Weapon, IF used two handed, according to the SRD) was listed as Exotic Only.

Is there a way of changing it? Or maybe choosing how many hands to wield it with?
Actually, the Bastard Sword should be working correctly already. When you add the weapon to the character, there's no way to know how you intend to wield it, so it defaults to an Exotic requirement (worst case). However, if you equip the weapon with two hands, it automatically changes to Martial behavior, and the weapon description and behavior changes accordingly.

If your character has the Martial Weapons proficiency, but not the Exotic, equipping the Bastard Sword with one hand confers the non-proficient penalty, but equipping it with two hands does not.

So all you need to do is make sure that you equip the weapon in both hands and you'll be good to go. :-)
